About this map

Marion anchors the southeastern corner of this Union Parish survey, marking a transition from the town center at Main St to the surrounding timberlands and creek bottoms. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Big Cane Cr and Meridian Cr, which drain the varied elevations of the t22n r1e and t23n r1e townships. North of the town, the settlement of Oakland sits near the junction of Spring Hill Rd and Parish Rd 6686.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named cemeteries and landmarks. Locations like Old Tennessee Cem, Antioch Cem, and Roark Allen Cem are preserved here, connected by a dense grid of rural corridors such as Oakland Rd and Post Mill Rd. These features, along with smaller drainages like Tick Cr and Little Cane Cr, reveal the historic settlement patterns of northern Louisiana.
